These days, owning your own home is the holy grail of the property market – but unfortunately, this isn't a feasible option for everyone. Buying your own property is becoming more and more expensive, with property prices recently reaching all-time highs – so renting presents an opportunity to have your own space, whilst saving up at the same time. Although there are limitations with renting, like decorating and DIY, there are big advantages, like flexibility. Knowing you can pick and choose where you rent, it can be less hassle to move, you can test out different areas to live in for short times, and the biggie, less maintenance costs as these are covered by your landlord.
